Naedslena ZOrn, the little girl who went
Win the CONAN kinderg irten May party
To Tie bluff at West One. Hundred.and-
Nmoty.second street last Saturday, and
who failed TO answer the roll. cali in the
afternoon. when the other children were
reody to 20 home, had not been found at
late hour last night. The search which
was begun Immediately after she was missed
las since been continued by her relatives
and friends, but il has brought no tidings
Of her, nor has the general alarm sent out
by the police been OF any service in discOy-
erIng her whereabouts. Every one feels
convinced that the child is not stopping
away Of her own will; and it is likely that
were she free her white picnic dress and
straw hat, with its wide red ribbon, would
have attracted attention that would have led
ere this TO her rciurnfo her parents.
The spot cbo.en for the Nay party il the
lirb land enclosed by the Gods Of Tenth
and Eitvorth avenues. At about where
Orc- Hundred and Ninety third street
would be a stmi circular rod is being
oTeuod TO connect the two avenues. Be-
,oud this Is a hlgh bluff, With here and
hoe path leading TO meadows. A foot
iath from the Kingsbridge road crosses the
meadows 10 Eleventh avenue and leads
nound lbe base OF the bluif. Ii was on
| his railway that Magdalena was last seen.
Two little houses stand at the foot OF the
lift alOng this path. Near one OF them is
| the ruin OF what is varously called gas
house, a sugar. house, and 4 crematory.
| The occupants Of the house near the ruin
ore Ignatz LutgOid and his wife, a'middle-
| aged German couple. In the other house
| Nicholas Bishop and bis brother live In the
NJ IL
| occupied by German couple. Around
both houses a dozen dogs are kept.
At about ) o'clock, Nichols Bishop
ssys, Magdeena came down the path from
Eleventh avenue. She passed the Bishop
house, and in front OF Lutgod's shanty she
oas set unon hy two Of the smaller dogs.
| They did not bite her, hut sue cried out in
terror, snd Nicholas Bishop, who was in
| front Of bis house, shouted 10 Mrs. Lutgold
70 cali OF her dogs. Mrs. Lutgold drove
| he dogs away and sOothed the child, who
was sobbing with fright. She noticed that
| The child had 4 bunch OF flowers in her
| lard. Magdalena turned back, and NichO-
| lbs Bishop asked her where she wanted 10
70. The child answered that she wanted to
20 home. He asked her where she lived,
nd she told him down town, and that she
would know her way II she got out on the
Nennc.
"Go tight back the way you came,"
Nicholas says be directed her. "Then
he iuIn6d back, and ! soon lost sight OF
htr."
T. YVES 4 o'clock when Nagdslena's com.
pGnlOns missed her, aud the search for her
IfaaD. Bishop says that 1t was fully 8
o'cloCk when he saw her on the path, and
aLout half sn hour later the child's father
tskCd him about her.
The little girl was next seen by one OF a
gang Of Italisns who are working on the
road connecting Tenth and Eleventh ave-
uues. The shsnty in which they live Il on
tie edge OF the bill overlooking the mea-
drws. One OF these men says that at about
C'30 o'clock he saw the child crossing the
niee0ows by the path, and going toward the
catholic church on the Kingsbridge road.
No one on the kingsbridge road, however,
can be found who has seen her. Had she
continued along the path she must have
cone TO where many persons live and
murh-,rayelled tboroughfare.
The Carmansyile police, who began a
search on sunday, suspected that she might
he prisoner In the Lutzold sbanty, and
accordingly searched II and the ruin OF the
trace Oh her. The Bishops are well known
theieobouts, aud were not suspected OF
having any thing 10 do with the child's dis
apreoIsnee. The Carmansyille police, in
pdciiion 10 looking for Magdalena. have
evolved the theory that she wandered from
tie path aud into part Of the meadows
abue. they. say, are quicssaDds, and that
tie was swall up By them. A gentle
